ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit receiver Golden Tate is back and the Lions are reaping the benefits.Tate, who struggled during the Lions 1/3 start, has played an important role in Detroits two-game winning streak, finishing with a career-high 165 receiving yards Sunday in a 31-28 win over the Rams. His 23-yard touchdown tied the score at 28-28 in the fourth quarter.Obviously, its great to see him have a big game, coach Jim Caldwell said Monday. He had a really fine game and you know hes capable of it. Hes a talented, talented guy. I anticipate hes going to have more of those.Tate never got discouraged, despite a rough opening four games in which he had 14 receptions for 95 yards and no touchdowns. He finished with one catch for one yard in Detroits 17-14 loss at Chicago in Week 4.Im kind of a forget-the-past guy, Tate said. Just keep grinding, keep working. I cant control when the ball will be thrown to me or what side (Matthew) Stafford is looking at. When my number is called, I can control from then on.The Lions have been calling his number more often. In the victory over Philadelphia two weeks ago, Tate had three catches for 39 yards, including a third-down reception that helped set up the game-winning field goal. He was targeted 10 times against the Rams, finishing with a season-high eight receptions.Tate, who averaged 20.6 yards per catch Sunday, also had a touchdown overturned in the third quarter when officials ruled he was down by contact near the end zone. The 61-yard reception set up Staffords scoring pass to Anquan Boldin two plays later, giving Detroit a 21-14 lead.With the Lions (3-3) potentially saving their season with two straight wins, things dont get easier. Detroit hosts Washington (4-2) on Sunday, and the Redskins enter on a four-game winning streak.The way we practiced the last two weeks, were hard to beat, Tate said. Every position played good, solid football (against the Rams). When we didnt, it was because of mental mistakes. Youve got to love that we kept our composure and kept fighting.Detroits turnaround has also quieted the rumors surrounding Caldwells job security, although the Lions coach was not patting himself on the back.The season is not over. Its not even close to being over, Caldwell said Monday. We have to do better this coming week, better than we were last week. If we dont, were going to have problems.All of Detroits games have been decided by seven points or fewer, including one-point and three-point wins the past two weeks.When games are really tight at the end, it takes a certain mindset that you dont get nervous, dont get out of whack, Caldwell said. Our guys are developing in that area. Its not necessarily something wed like to happen every single week, but well take it any way we can get it these days.Stafford has been pleased with the Lions ability to handle adversity.Whether its Week 1 in that situation that we had to come from behind and win (against Indianapolis), or these late fourth-quarter comebacks that we had these last couple weeks, we just seem to rise to the occasion, Stafford said. Thats the NFL and it comes down to the fourth quarter more often than it doesnt. Youve got to make the plays to win it.

Jack Sock is starting to make a habit of winning big matches, a newfound talent that may be ushering in a new era in American tennis.Sock, 24 years old and already the highest-ranking player from the U.S. at No. 24, upset No. 12 seed Richard Gasquet on Thursday at the ATP Paris Masters 1000 in a three-setter just shy of three hours. Socks explosive forehand, improved mobility and increasingly well-rounded game have enabled him to log some resounding wins since his early loss in the Olympic games in Rio.Since then, Sock has beaten Marin Cilic at the US Open (where the former champion was the No. 7 seed), Shanghai No. 5 seed and Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic and German wunderkind Alexander Zverev. On Wednesday in Paris, he took out Dominic Thiem handily before his hard-fought win against Gasquet.For years now, Sock has been touted as the successor to Andy Roddick. Hes been hailed by some as the player who might accomplish the feat that has eluded John Isner, long the top-ranked U.S. player in the post-Roddick era: a Grand Slam triumph that might kick-start the American mens game.Like Roddick, the last U.S. Grand Slam champion, Sock is a native Nebraskan. His game also is anchored in an atomic forehand abetted by a powerful serve. Theres a physicality about Socks game that is reminiscent of Roddick at his most persuasive. At 6-foot-3, Sock is an inch taller, if not quite as broad-shouldered.Against Thiem, an Austrian 23-year-old who is every bit as much a muscular worker, Sock dominated in true Roddick-style, winning 91 percent of his first-serve points, backing up those fireballs with forehand blasts mixed with occasional off-speed backhands and even drop shots. Thiem never saw a break point.However, Socks similarity to Roddick also carried a price tag. It quickly morphed into pressure. It didnt help that Socks game was raw and his temperament unschooled. Thus Socks development was relatively slow. He also had to learn to live with the pressure. At times before this summer, it was intense.People love to do comparisons [to Roddick], Sock told USA Today in August. But you just have to brush it off and keep focusing on what youre doing, on trying to get better. No matter how well you do, theres always people who are going to hate or have better expectations.Sock had trouble distancing himself from other promising newcomers, including Ryan Harrison and Donald Young. They would all flare, then struggle. The only reliable American since 22010 has been that other late bloomer, Isner.dddddddddddd He hit a career high of No. 9 in 2012 and has been a top-20 player -- and the leading U.S. male -- for most of his career. But hes 31 years old now and ranked four places below Sock.Isner is 6-foot-10 and still dangerous, and he will remain so as long as that serve continues to lock and load. But he lives and dies by it. Isners size and long limbs impair his mobility. His game is poorly suited to the way tennis is played today, whereas Socks is right in tune with his times during what might be an era of transition on the ATP Tour.In October, Sock was a quarterfinalist at the Shanghai Masters 1000 and a finalist in Stockholm
